If you get too bored, you can always take a red sharpie to the inside of the canopy if it's something like Bladey or Command Wolf. Note: Inside. If it's outside it gives it a strange golden sheen which kinda negates colouring it red. XD Nice idea ^^ Anyway, my Claw came through. Sadly no Ghost. He appears to be gold under his chrome. Lol, someone else had already scratch tested him XD Not sure whether to strip him or sell him on yet. |

Been a while since I updated this, but I haven't stopped getting the Zoids XD Revoltech Blade Liger came through  Gorgeous looking box, but discovered the figure didn't look quite as great out of the box. Nice from a distance, but riddled with moulding issues up close. Next is yet another Claw.  His name is Tsume! Tsume is very special... Tsume has ghost plastic under his Chrome... at least under the head and back armour. Third to arrive is HMM Lightning Saix  Finally! Can't work out why it never showed up on Parcel Force's tracking site, but it doesn't matter now that my Saix is safely in my possession. And finally an OJR Sabre Tiger.  He's missing a few things, like his eye canopy, some parts from sprue W, and the attachments that help his legs move, but I think I should already have what needs to be replaced. It's the item description for him that made me lol though. It was plain obvious that the seller was trying to look knowledgeable while actually having no idea what he/she was selling: "OER Original European Release - Red Liger / Tiger Zoid" Actually it's an OJR Sabre Tiger. The OER version is black not red. "The motor runs fine although I think the legs are out of sink, so the legs move (as they should) but the overall effect is standing still" - Yeah, this would be because he's missing vital motion components “The jaws open and close sometimes, and at other times just click. Maybe a cam or something needs lining up.” - Actually you'll probably find it's because the flash wasn't cut off. Then there's this:  I fixed the one on the far leg already, but both were like this when it arrived. Somebody wasn't reading the manual eh? |

Yeah! Sabre's much happier now ^^ I've given him the walking components from a spare Bladey, and he walks fine with no issues with a clicking jaw now the flash has been trimmed off. His only issue is the fact that his caps are loose... He'll walk along a few steps, then slowly sink down at the front, until the caps fall off completely and the legs fall apart XD ooohh revoltech Bladey , that's exciting. gotta get some nice poses out of him Heh... As long as you don't ask for any open blade poses. On is loose and when opened just flops all the way down to point at the floor! |

I know Griffon needs a replacement one in his wing. |

The problem is that this isn't a joint you can easily replace... You'd need an entirely new blade arm. But then, they did a really poor job on this guy... he's definitely not worth the money. |

That's a shame it's not good. I was really looking forward to them since they did such a great job with the Transformers and Patlabors. Of course this the first time they've tried something with that many joints @_@

The body's wonkey. When folded up, one blade arm sits higher than the other one.
